Calvert County's eclectic restaurants will showcase their creative cuisine and offer delicious deals during the first-ever Calvert County Restaurant Week Feb. 1-10, 2013.

Coordinated by the Calvert County Department of Economic Development, Calvert County Restaurant Week will feature restaurants that draw on the region's bounty to offer unique dining experiences.

Whether your favorite fare is local seafood, Italian cuisine or anything in between, Restaurant Week has something to satisfy any taste.

Participating restaurants are offering lunch specials between $10 and$15, and dinners from $20 to $30. Tax, gratuity, beverages and alcohol are not included in the price. Restaurants will still offer their regular menus during the promotional week.

Restaurant Week patrons can enter a drawing for prizes by completing an online feedback form or filling out feedback cards at the restaurants during their visit. The drawing is planned for Feb. 17. Winners will be individually notified.

A special section on the Calvert County tourism website at http://www.ChooseCalvert.com/RestaurantWeek features full event details including a list of participating restaurants, menus, recipes, frequently asked questions and more. Not all Calvert County restaurants are participating.

Diners are encouraged to make Restaurant Week reservations early. If you call to make a reservation, be sure to ask if the business is participating. Also, some restaurants may choose to offer the promotional pricing at one meal, rather than both, so be sure to confirm when you make your reservation.
